   And likely would, if it were standard.
   As it is, all the tools necessary to make a strcmpi() are
   present within the ANSI standard library. One method might
   look something like this:
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
char *uppercase(char *u)
{
   char *s = u;
   if(s)
      for(;*s; s++)
         *s = (char)toupper(*s);
   return u;
}
int nocase_cmp(const char *a, const char *b)
{
   char *cA, *cB;
   int result = 1;
   if(a && b)
   {
      cA = malloc(strlen(a));
      cB = malloc(strlen(b));
      if(cA && cB)
      {
         strcpy(cA, a);
         uppercase(cA);
         strcpy(cB, b);
         uppercase(cB);
         result = strcmp(cA, cB);
         free(cA);
         free(cB);
      }
   }
   return result;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   if(argc > 2)
   {
      printf("These strings are%s equal.\n",
         (0 == nocase_cmp(argv[1], argv[2])) ? "" : "n't");
   }
   else
      puts("usage: nocascmp [STRING1] [STRING2]");
   return 0;
}
   Of course, you would find this type of process assigned to
   the == operator within a class in a C++ implementation, so
   that you need only write something such as
if(Astring == Bstring)
   and the result would be automatically forthcoming in any
   two strings belonging to your string class.
   Some commonly used functions are NOT in the standard, but
   are easily implemented using those functions which ARE
   supplied in the standard. They are there, but some assembly
   may be required in order to use them. :)
